Colloquium Requirement (C SC 695A)

The department requires all Master and Doctoral students to register for C SC 695A. Masters students are required to register for this class during their last semester of study. Doctoral students are to register for this class during their fourth semester within the department. All students are required to attend 10 colloquiums during their time of study within the department. You do not have to be registered for C SC695A to attend the colloquia and we highly encourage you to start attending the talks your first semester. You may accumulate the required 10 attendances prior to registration for this course. When you attend a qualified colloquia, please fill out the colloquium attendance sheet and drop it in the colloquia box located in the room. If at any time you would like to know how many colloquia you have attended, please email the graduate advisor. To find a listing of the colloquia for the semester that will count toward this requirement, please visit http://www.cs.arizona.edu/colloquia/. Please do not wait until the semester you register for this class to try to fill the 10 attendance requirement. It is possible that the department may not offer 10 qualified research talks in any one semester. It is in your best interest to space the research talks out over the semesters leading up to your registration for the class.

The only students not required to register for this class are Masters students who have chosen to complete a thesis.
